Desperately Seeking a Vintage Dress?

As well as holding dresses in stock, Hayworth Vintage also provide a sourcing service so if you've got a particular style or era in mind Catherine explains how it works...

The best way to do this is to meet with the bride in person so we can go through our range. As we have some many different styles, it soon becomes clear the style the bride is looking for and suited to. From there we go on to source gowns in their desired look. But please note that sourcing can take time - as the perfect vintage gown can be hard to find!

What's the Hayworth Vintage Top Tip for buying a Vintage Wedding Dress...

When looking at vintage dresses bear in mind that people wore corsets under these dresses. Waists can be small and busts can be big. Most dresses can be altered to fit, and for that its always best to go from bigger to smaller.

Avoid the Wedding Guest Dress FEAR...

And vintage isn't just for brides, wearing vintage to a wedding as a guest is becoming more and more popular as we all seek out something that little bit different (who else has the guest dress fear before entering the church, or is it just me?). Catherine puts her money where her mouth is and sports vintage as occasionwear. "At one of my best friends weddings I wore a 1940’s bias cut brightly coloured gown, and at a friends wedding recently I work a 1960’s backless silk maxi dress!I love to mix vintage with a little high street, or high street with a little vintage, making it my own look." We love a lady with style, so we trust her to help you in your vintage dress search...
